Dell dimension 9200 wireless capabilities

I have a older dell dimension 9200 running WindowsXP I would like to know if there is a way to make the desktop wireless because the connection to my modem is being used by another computer and not in the location where this computer will be located.

    Bkeywest,

    You can search ebay or google for a wireless card that meets the specs for your motherboard bus listed below. You can also look for a USBwireless adapter that is compatible with Windows xp.

    Bus type PCI Express x1 and x16
    Bus speed PCI Express:
    x1 slot bidirectional speed: 500 MB/s
    x16 slot bidirectional speed: 8 GB/sec
    PCI Express
    Connector One x1
    Connector size 36 pins
    Connector data width (maximum) One PCI Express lane
    PCI Express
    Connector One x16
    Connector size 164 pins
    Connector data width (maximum) 16 PCI Express lanes
